Nuinsco Announces Assay Results Grading up to 35.5 g/t from the El Sid Gold Project
Positive Analytical Results Increase Confidence in Potential to Quickly Move to Gold Production
Toronto, March 4, 2019 – Nuinsco Resources Limited (“Nu insco” or the “Company”) (CSE: NWI) today announced
positive analytical results from sampling at the El Sid gold project in Egypt, with assays grading up to 35.50 g/t
gold. The average grade of all 239 samples taken from the waste dump at the past‐producing El Sid gold mine is
4.47g/t gold.
“These results are as expected and confirm the wide distributio n of gold mineralization within waste dumps at El
Sid,” said Paul Jones, CEO. “Given that the waste pile has alre ady been mined, is on surface and has been partially
processed, the average gold grade is very encouraging from the perspective of economic viability. The Company is
in the process of evaluating gold recovery from the El Sid proj ect using conventional, low‐cost processing
m e t h o d s t o q u i c k l y g e n e r a t e c a s h f l o w t o p r o v i d e n o n ‐ d i l u t i v e funding for Nuinsco’s Prairie Lake and Sunbeam
projects and for the evaluation of potential new project acquisitions.”
Through its Egyptian subsidiary Z‐Gold Resources Inc., Nuinsco won a competitive bid for the right to evaluate the
viability of gold production from waste dumps and tailings at the p ast ‐ p r oduc i n g E l S i d m in e i n Eg y p t ’s E ast e r n
Desert. Located approximately 90km west of the town of Quseir o n the Red Sea coast, El Sid is easily accessible
via a paved road that passes through the project site. Three pa st producing gold mines are located on the project
– the largest of which is the El Sid Mine which operated primar ily between 1947 and 1957 and was Egypt’s largest
gold producer.
Site evaluation, processing equipment selection and metallurgy are continuing, and the Company is rapidly
moving toward a production decision. If the project proves to be economically viable the timeline to gold
production is short – measured in months.
In addition to the 239 samples co llected from the El Sid mine w aste dumps for analysis, an additional 20 blank
and standard samples were inserted into the sample stream for Q A/QC purposes. The sampling program included
the use of a backhoe to excavate trenches and pits into the wast e p i l e i n o r d e r t o a s c e r t a i n g r a d e s o t h e r t h a n
from the surface of the pile. The waste dump attains a maximum thickness of 15m, maximum trench depth was
4m while pits were excavated at between 10m and 15m below the u pper surface of the waste dump. All analyses
were conducted by ALS Limited at their analytical laboratory in Izmir, Turkey.
